Pandemonium Drummers on BBC Radio 2
Seven volunteer drummers and two drum captains played live on Zoe Ball and Richard Bacon Go for Gold.
The two hour show on 9th August featured interviews and live drumming from a very small subset of the Pandemonium Drummers. Because of the size of the BBC Studio, only nine of us could fit in the room.
Playing along the track And I Will Kiss, which is the music to the Industrial Revolution segment of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony, is easy enough for us under normal circumstances, but in this case we only had two headphones, so the drummers could not hear the playback at all. We therefore had to rely on visual cues to keep us in time - which did not always work perfectly, but eventually we overcame this challenge.
Our performance was extremely well received in the studio. And Richard Bacon even brought his parents in, who had tickets to the Opening Ceremony and gave us a fantastic review.
Overall, we had a fantastic time at BBC Radio 2 - thanks for inviting us!

The show is available on iPlayer until 15th August 2012.
